Pence wanted Pence to look good, even if it meant throwing Trump under the bus. Kaine drove the bus over Trump. Trump lost.

1. Hmm, #factsmatter

Any hashtags or activity on twitter to that effect?

Facts DO matter! A person can have opinions but if they peddle those opinions as fact when their opinions can be disproved then they are frauds.

2. Also on the lines of pence wanting pence to look good

He is a very insecure person. dipshit donnie needs massive affirmation all the time. Especially by those around him. Since pence did seem to make sure his career would be intact more then anything else during the debate. This is going to affect dipshit. He will be stewing all week. Not only that part, but pence disagreed with dipsit's stance on russia syria and iirc a few other things. That may keep dipshit on the defensive during any questions with the news media. If they bring it up. If there is any push on this by the campaign or others it will keep him unstable through the week.

3. yeah, I sure hope so... was weird the way Pence went against Trump's positions

4. Chris Mathews said facts don't matter

as much as style in these debates.
No matter what you think about Mathews, he is probably correct about this as far as it affects an audience who haven't been paying much attention to this election or the VP candidates until Labor Day.
